Multiple brands showcased their new technologies, products, and innovations at the MWC 2024 event. It is a well-known annual trade show and conference primarily focused on the mobile and tech industry.

It garnered tremendous applause and appreciation from the tech-enthusiastic audience.
Every product showcased at the MWC 2024 is not readily available for purchase. A few will never be. Although some will come into the market later this year, others will drop as soon as next month. In this article, we will look at the top announcements of the event so far.

Top highlights of the MWC 2024
1) Lenovo transparent laptop
Trending
Lenovo came up with the most innovative product to show to the world, unveiling the world's first transparent laptop. The conceptual device features a borderless screen, a transparent keyboard area, and a floating footpad design. The brand hasn’t shared any hardware-related specifications in the MWC 2024 event.
However, as per reports, it will come with a MicroLED display and run on the Windows 11 operating system. The keyboard is shown as a flat touch projection-based keyboard rather than the actual buttons. Lenovo has also mentioned that it will start to disappear when you bring the pen (universal stylus alike) close to the laptop, which makes it useful for artists.
Regarding the availability, Lenovo's executive director, Tom Butler, told The Verge that it would take around five years to translate this technology into a reality.
2) Samsung Galaxy Ring
Samsung introduced the Galaxy Ring at MWC 2024. The wearable device is told to leverage all the advanced features of the Samsung Health platform to redefine the health-tracking landscape. The design looks sleek and comfortable, making it an appealing option for individuals seeking a convenient on-the-go health and well-being device.
The Galaxy Ring will monitor crucial health metrics like body temperature, pulse, heart rate, and sleep pattern, to name a few. All the data will be tracked and combined with Samsung’s ecosystem for a more comprehensive understanding.
The pricing and the release date for the Galaxy Ring are under wraps. The wearable is currently in the prototype production stage. So, let’s wait and watch when this ring will be available in the market. Hopefully, later this year.
3) OnePlus Watch 2
OnePlus Watch 2 is one of the few devices from MWC 2024 that are ready to launch soon. The brand has stated 100 hours of battery life in Smart mode, and the watch will be available in Black Steel and Radiant Steel colors. Besides all the connectivity options like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS, it has IP68 dust and water protection.
The smartwatch is powered by Wear OS 3, so you will get all the popular Google apps like Calendar and Maps, plus it also supports other third-party apps. Additionally, it features health and well-being features through the OHealth app. You can pre-order the OnePlus Watch 2 from the official website for around $299.
4) Snapdragon X80 modem

5) Xiaomi Electric Car
The Chinese tech giant has surprised the world by presenting its premier electric car- SU7, in their booth at MWC 2024. It looks premium but seems to have a similar design to existing electric car lineups. The length of the vehicle is over four meters, and the wheelbase is around 3000mm.
The Xiaomi SU7 can run 800 km on a single charge with a top speed of 165mph. The company has also claimed that the car can go up to 510 km with just a 15-minute charge. You will also find LIDAR, Radar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors in the car.

7) Motorola adaptive display
Imagine a super flexible smartphone that users can fold and wear on their wrists. Well, that imagination is close to reality as we speak, as Motorola has finally showcased the working prototype of its much-awaited adaptive display at MWC 2024. The prototype model features a 6.9-inch display that delivers a similar traditional smartphone experience.
However, unlike any smartphone, the display can be manipulated into different forms. You can turn the smartphone into a self-standing position or can wrap the device around your wrist. The screen features FHD+ pOLED technology; however, that's it as far as the details go. The brand has not disclosed any additional specifications.
The prototype is intriguing, but its effectiveness in real-life situations is to be explored. Furthermore, reports suggest that devices built on this concept are not expected to be available soon.
The MCW 2024 was flooded with technological innovations, including real flying cars, robotic dogs, AI, and more. But what really got the crowd cheering the loudest were these big announcements.
